Meet the Puppets
ELLIE:Â the parkie
Meet Ellie, the curious, determined, occasionally wobbly star of Parkie in the Wild. She’s a puppet with Parkinson’s who navigates everything from stubborn water bottles and medication adventures to clinical trials and everyday life - with plenty of humor along the way. Ellie may not always cooperate with Parkinson’s, but she’s always willing to laugh at the chaos. Observe: the Parkie in her natural habitat.
JOHN:Â the husband
Meet John, Ellie’s husband, caregiver, adventure partner, and frequently bewildered co-star of Parkie in the Wild. He’s there for the medication mishaps, Parkinson’s plot twists, and Ellie’s latest schemes - usually armed with patience, sarcasm, and a perfectly timed comment. Life with a Parkie can be chaotic, but John wouldn’t trade his place beside her in the wild.
